Customer Reviews

The best book written in the 20th Century
Ignatius J. Reilly is a character you will never forget. Brilliantly written, this book will make you laugh out loud in public places!

An absolute ripper...
One of the most humorous books you will ever read - spent all day at work wanting to get back to the book. Characters sublime, setting brilliant and the plot rolls along like a bus driving through a cardboard box factory.

Look out for Jones - Ooooeee, he ain't no vagran cawmniss. Just buy it, you won't go wrong.

Highly overrated
I bought this book based on the other reviews it had received. I thought it would be funny....I was very disappointed. Not only is it not funny, it is very disgusting to read. I was not even half-way through the book and I was already totally bored.
